BEST FRIEND AND LOVER: Mick Jagger posted this photo of L'Wren Scott on Facebook, with the words: 'I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way. We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her, Mick.'

The fashion designer was found dead of an apparent suicide on March 17 in her New York City apartment, leaving no note.

Scott and Jagger were together for over 13 years, and she purportedly left everything she owned to the Rolling Stones frontman.

"I give all my jewellery, clothing, household furniture and furnishings, personal automobiles, and other tangible articles of a personal nature, or my interest in any such property, not otherwise specifically disposed of by this will or any other matter together with my insurance on the property, to Michael Philip Jagger," Scott wrote, according to the New York Post. "I give the rest and residue of my estate to my Michael Philip Jagger."

According to the outlet, anyone who dies without writing a will in New York state would have their belongings transferred to a living spouse, and if there is no spouse then to living relatives.

Scott seemed to make it very clear in her will she didn't want her family to get anything.

"Expect if otherwise provided in this will, I have intentionally omitted to provide herein for any other my heirs living at the date of my death," she wrote.

The former model went on to write "I have never been married. I have no children" before crossing the word "never" out in ink, with no explanation why.

The Post claims to have reviewed probate documents that showed Scott's $9 million estate included a $1 million New York condo and $8 million in "tangible personal property and various other assets".

Despite intense speculation since Scott's death, it has not been confirmed whether she was in debt.

"The liabilities of this estate are unknown at this time," read the probate documents.
